HAGGAI
CHAPTER 1
1 In the second year of Darius the
king, in the sixth month, in the first
day of the month, came the word of
the Lord by Haggai the prophet unto
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor
of Judah, and to Joshua the son of
Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts,
saying, This people say, The time is
not come, the time that the Lord's
house should be built.
3 Then came the word of the Lord by
Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell
in your cieled houses, and this house
lie waste?
5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in
little; ye eat, but ye have not enough;
ye drink, but ye are not filled with
drink; ye clothe you, but there is
none warm; and he that earneth wages
earneth wages to put it into a bag
with holes.
7 #Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider
your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring
wood, and build the house; and I will
take pleasure in it, and I will be
glorified, saith the Lord.
9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it
came to little; and when ye brought
it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith
the Lord of hosts. Because of mine
house that is waste, and ye run every
man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is
stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed
from her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon
the land, and upon the mountains, and
upon the corn, and upon the new wine,
and upon the oil, and upon that which
the ground bringeth forth, and upon
men, and upon cattle, and upon all
the labour of the hands.
12 #Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
and Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest, with all the remnant of
the people, obeyed the voice of the
Lord their God, and the words of Haggai
the prophet, as the Lord their God
had sent him, and the people did fear
before the Lord.
13 Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger
in the Lord's message unto the people,
saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit
of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
governor of Judah, and the spirit of
Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
priest, and the spirit of all the remnant
of the people; and they came and did
work in the house of the Lord of hosts,
their God,
15 In the four and twentieth day of
the sixth month, in the second year
of Darius the king.
